How good would anElden Ringmovie be? What if George R.R. Martin wrote the script? Well, we might never know.
In an interview withIGN, George R.R. Martin admitted that “there is some talk about making a movie out ofElden Ring.” He played a key role in the game’s worldbuilding, andMartin worked closely with FromSoftware during development.
However, he acknowledges that writing a movie script would likely only happen after he finishes The Winds of Winter—the long-overdue sixth entry in A Song of Ice and Fire, the series that inspiredGame of Thrones. He is 13 years behind schedule, and while he has admitted he may never finish it, he still treats completing the book as his top priority. That makes it unlikely he would write a rumoredElden Ringmovie script anytime soon.
FromSoftware’s past comments also hint about an Elden Ring movie
While George R.R. Martin has been cautious about discussing an Elden Ring adaptation, FromSoftware has hinted at the possibility at least twice.
In June 2024,Elden Ringgame director Hidetaka Miyazaki toldThe Guardian: “I don’t see any reason to deny another interpretation or adaptation ofElden Ring, a movie for example.”
However, he noted that FromSoftware doesn’t have the expertise to make a film and that it would require a “very strong partner” to bring it to life. While George R.R. Martin could be one of those key collaborators, Miyazaki was likely referring to an entire movie production company as well.
Later, in December 2024, Miyazaki remained vague aboutElden Ring’sfuture in an interview with Japanese websiteGame Watchbut didn’t deny anything: “At this point, we are not considering anElden Ring 2,” he said. “However, that does not mean we are ruling out further developments for theElden RingIP. As for what comes next, FromSoftware, as always, has multiple projects in progress.”
While Martin’s recent comments fuel speculation, FromSoftware has yet to make any official announcement about an Elden Ring movie.
